FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park reopens Friday, August 28, 2020, after being closed for fire mitigation Interstate 70, which had been closed through Glenwood Canyon, reopened Monday, August 24, making the trip to and from Glenwood Springs from the Front Range and points east faster and easier. GLENWOOD SPRINGS, Colo. (August 26, 2020) — After being closed since August 13 for fire mitigation, Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park reopens Friday, August 28. The mountain-top theme park overlooking Glenwood Springs, Colorado, served as a home base for some of the firefighting crews battling the Grizzly Creek Fire burning in Glenwood Canyon. According to the Grizzly Creek Fire Facebook page, as of this morning the fire is at 32,060 acres with 61 percent containment. Interstate 70, which had been closed through the canyon, reopened Monday, August 24. “We will forever be grateful for the incredible efforts of all of the crews battling this wildland fire,” Steve Beckley, who owns Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park with his wife Jeanne, said. “Watching them work to protect our park, our homes, our community and our beautiful mountain landscapes has shown us the dangers and challenges they face on a daily basis.” Hoping to show a measure of his appreciation, Beckley was able to give some of the firefighters a break from the heat and smoky air with private tours of Glenwood Caverns and the Historic Fairy Cave where the cool, clean air is always 52°F. Freshly baked fudge from the park’s Lookout Grille was a hit as well. The crews were also given around-the-clock access to the park’s visitor center for running water and restrooms. Beckley hopes that the firefighters will come back to Glenwood Springs with their families. He added, “When they do, they’ll be treated to complimentary visits to the Adventure Park and Iron Mountain Hot Springs. We are working with White River National Forest Office now to figure out the logistics.” - more - Caverns reopen after fire mitigation/Page 2 Customers who wish to reschedule their trips can reply to their confirmation with the new date requested.
